Commander Lame presided, and
as soon as the guests had arrived
he gave the order to fall in for grub,
which was obeyed very expedi-
tiously. After all had been assigned
seats at the table, the Commander
called upon the Rev. w. b. Oleson
TO offer prayer, after which an at
tack was made on the army beans,
hard tack and coffee.
These having been despatched,
Commander Lame welcomed all pre-
sent. The first toast of the evening
was His Majesty and Royal family,
which was drunk standing, the band
playing Hawaii Ponoi." Next
came Mr.. j. f. Field, of the ALL
Star Combination troupe, who is the
son of q veteran, and gave a
mastery rendition of "Marching
Through Georgia." ON the concer-
tina. He was encored several times.
and gave as o finale "DiXle," the
Southern war song, which called to
mind of the veterans many stirring
scenes. The next toast was the
President of the United States,
which was responded to by Com
rade Geo. W. Merrill, U. s. Minister
Resident. He first referred to the
principals for which the Northern
soldiers had fought, and pointed
out how frequently those same
principals were seen cropping up
in other countries, whether under
the name of Republic or Consti-
tutional Monarchy, it mattered not,
they were the same. Referring to
the feeling in America towards Ha.
wall, he said that America extended
the right hand Of fellowship to Ha-
wall, and had her interest at heart.
The next toast was the Army and
Navy of the U. s., responded to by
comrade G. j. Burnap, Chief En-
gineer of the U. S. S. Vandalia, in
very felicitatous manner. He re-
ferred to so much having been said
about the achievements of the Army,
but the Navy was there just the
same.
Comrade Kempff also responded
to the toast and related some funny
incidents in connection with the ma
val engagement at Port Royal.
Mr.: Frank M. Clark OF the ALL
Star Company, then gave a recita-
ton which was vociferously applaud
ed. He was recalled and gave ano-
'ther recitation which was encored,
when he sang a song "The Bobby"
that brought down the house.
Our Commander-in- Chief, Gen.
Lucius Eairchild, was the next
toast, and was responded to by Dir.
McGrew, who stated that he knew
the gentleman personally, having
served with him in the army. He
referred to his work in the Grand
Army since he was elected to its
command in fattering terms, and
was glad we had so good man at
the head of the order. In fact, he
would like to see him President of
the United States, and said he
might vote for him were he candi-
date.
The next toast was the Governor
